The 2019 Pokemon cyclone season was a below-average season that consists of 14 depressions, 10 storms, 5 cyclones, and 3 major cyclones. The strongest storm of the season, Hydreigon, only reached violent cyclone intensity. This was the first time when the naming scheme was used.
During the course of the season, 2 subtropical storms went unnoticed. After post-season analysis, they were named as Subcyclone Johto and Substorm Hoenn. One of the significant storms of the season was Storm Sceptile, that danced around the northern Pokemon Sea and lasted for 2 weeks. Sceptile was then retired after by the PMO due to causing damages along the Sinnoh region.
On March 2020, the PMO retired the names Sceptile and Hydreigon. They were replaced by Blaziken and Kyurem respectively. The season also introduced new records, like Sceptile, which had the record for the longest-lived storm without reaching cyclone intensity.
